Transfer Custom Maps and GPS Data Files

Custom Maps:
Custom maps work only from the MMC card or SD card. When a card

containing a Custom Map File is loaded into the unit, the unit auto-

matically loads the map into memory when the unit is turned on.
Instructions for copying Custom Map Files to an MMC are contained in

the instruction manual for your MMC card reader and MapCreate 6
software. For instructions on inserting an MMC into the unit, see Sec.
2, Installation/Accessories
.
NOTE:

To load a NauticPath or Navionics

®

chart, see Sec. 5 for the entry

NauticPath or Navionics Charts.

GPS Data files:
GPS Data Files contain waypoints, routes, trails and event marker

icons. Instructions for copying GPS Data Files between your computer

and an MMC are contained in the instruction manual for your MMC

card reader and MapCreate 6 software.
GPS data automatically recorded in the unit's internal memory must

be saved to the MMC (as a GPS Data File) in order to store it on your

personal computer. GPS Data Files stored on an MMC must be copied

from the card to the unit's internal memory before the unit can read

them. Here's how:
1. Insert the MMC into your unit. Press
